1. The integration with lintian has been improved. The hyperlink to the Lintian report is now shown only if Lintian has something “to say” about that package. Moreover, if there were warnings or errors in the last Lintian ran, they are now shown as TODO items in the appropriate part of the PTS web interface.

2. The availability of uploads on mentors.d.n waiting for sponsorships are now shown as TODO items.

All pages are now (hopefully) valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, this not only improves accessibility, but also enables XML-based post-processing of pages.

A lot of bugs have been squashed during DebConf8, you might want to look at the PTS bug page to check the status of bugs you reported.

— Peter Palfrader

Personnel changes—————–

Martin Zobel-Helas joined the DSA team and therefore will reduce his involvement with Stable Release Management, though he is still available as a Stable Release Wizard. His role as a Stable Release Manager has been taken up by Philipp Kern, who was a Stable Release Assistant formerly.

— Alexander Reichle-Schmehl

Delayed queue moves to ravel—————————-

people.debian.org will move to ravel.debian.org in near future, thus the delayed queue[1] will move as well. At this occasion, we decided to move it to /org/delayed.d.o, and add a canonical upload host ssh-delayed.upload.debian.org. Now the upload tools need to be adjusted.
